Resistance 3 Dev Diary: Cold New World

Posted by James Stevenson on Jun 14, 2011 // Community Lead, Insomniac Games

We hope that you have enjoyed all of the recent Resistance 3 content that has been coming your way over the last few weeks. From the E3 stage demo in tattered St. Louis, to the new multiplayer footage from our Wales Seaside and Colombia Trainyard maps, to cover art created by designer Olly Moss, and various retailer pre-order bonuses, it’s been an exciting time for us to share so many cool parts of the Resistance 3 experience coming to you on 09.06.11.

If you’ve been dying to get a taste of Resistance 3 for yourself – you can do so today, by grabbing a copy of the specially marked single-disc Battle: Los Angeles Blu-ray that contains a nearly 30-minute slice of Resistance 3 – the harrowing boat ride on the Mississippi River.

Already grabbed Battle: LA, you say? That’s not all we have for today! Earlier this year, the PlayStation.Blog team approached us about creating its first-ever developer diary series, focusing on various elements of Resistance 3. After discussing it with them and the Resistance team at Sony, we were all really excited to collaborate on this project. The dev diaries will cover a range of topics across the game, and will roll out as we get closer to Resistance 3’s launch date.

They are also special, as they were the first videos to be shot in the Resistance 3 war-room that some of you may have heard us talk about in various interviews. While we’ve taken special care to ensure that the backgrounds aren’t legible, you can get an idea of the main room at Insomniac that lays out the entire R3 single-player campaign experience, a room any person at the company can go to and get an up-to-date picture of what will be happening at any moment in the game.

Everyone at Insomniac is really stoked to see this one turn out the way it has. We hope you enjoy it, and will look forward to the other videos in the series that will be rolling out this summer.

As always, stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter feeds for all of the latest news about Resistance 3. And if you have questions about everything we showed at E3, the Battle: LA demo, the dev diary, or what I’m eating from the Insomniac kitchen right now, post below and I’ll do my best to answer!

Although Resistance 2 was a great game, you guys took out alot of things that made Fall of Man such an amazing game. Now that some of those features have returned, like the weapon wheel, the series can return to greatness where it belongs. Keep up the great work Insomniac!!

Damn it! I dont have the good bluray edition I guess…… Or its not available in Canada?? I got this movie only for the demo, I have watched the movie in theater and I thought it was not very good. Why not put the demo on all disks? I hope you will release it like in july or something at least….

Dear Insomniac Games,
Thanks for F***ing up one of my favorite series by implement useless gimmicks from other games and taking out 99% of what was fun with the original and the PSP game. I just hope you guys don’t F***-up the new Ratchet and Clank game also.

PLS INSOMNIAC CHANGE THE COVER ART PLS!!!
apart of that i LOVE the resistance franchise. and im glad u listened to ur fans into making this…wich .
I really hope hale is back in this game…. it sucked that u killed him in R2…. anyways…. about the CE coming to us… why dont u guys ONLY send the reserved ones ONLY…… i reserved mine for R2 at my gamestop store where i work…… but when they arrived there was like 20 additional??? so i think it should only come to those who pre-order them…. those are my 2 cents….
Note: i wanted to participate in ur picture activity in which u could have ur face on the game… yet Puerto Rico its out of the story again….we never get a chance at anything…. hope the barrier of the “only in the 50 states on america” barrier its broken in ur next activity… :(

Hey Insomniac Games, and Sony, thank you so much for the awesome R3 poster! I was not expecting this today from Fed-Ex! I had a great time in Hollywood that day. Now I just need the shirt Jeff, and Sony employees at E3 were wearing!!

So like is there a page where it says(not by video but in words) all the games that will be available and their dates??
Just want to know because I would like to plan what exactly I will buy.
Thanks whoever replise =D

I get the feeling that we’re going to get even more questions then answers in Resistance 3. Can’t wait for that!.

Oh and I question those who say the game is crap or that it sucks if they haven’t even played it yet. Is it the graphics?. Last time I checked, a game is all about the story and gameplay. High end graphics aren’t everything.

game looks great! though the gameplay shown during the E3 conference was very meh and the trailer released during E3 looked great. P.S Marcus Smith seemed a bit too serious/stiff, first time doing a presentation?

I wish I was into gritty First Person Shooters. Resistance has always looked like a great universe from the outside. Unfortunately it’s just not my thing. I suck at them and I don’t like spending the duration of my leisure time freaked out and on edge. It’s the kind of game I’d love to watch someone else play but am never likely to play myself.

It looks amazing though. So kudos to Insomniac, for what it’s worth.

The good news is I’m still a big R&C fan and can’t wait to pick up All 4 One. James Arnold Taylor and David Kaye are great.

I can’t thank you guys enough for this game!
I’ve really been enjoying all the coverage you guys have been putting out this year.
Everything that you guys have said so far have shown me that this is going to be the BEST Resistance game yet!
I’ve preordered in full and am anticipating 9/6/11 to come sooner rather than later!
Thanks Insomniac games :D

i like the story’s and everything of the resistance games its just annoying that there only playable in 1st person and NOT 3rd person, you see i can only do 3rd person games, to this day i have not comleted any 1st person game, i think that 1st or 3rd person mode should be a choice for the player

I hated to see such a hero like Hale be killed off but it was an experience, i’ve never seen a main character killed off then get replace, very unique and very nice ending to Resistance 2, Can’t wait to see how the world of Resistance 3 honors Hale.
